I was in Beckley the other day and saw a company vehicle from a local car dealership. It had Friends of Coal stickers more prominent than the dealership stickers.

This post is in response to Walker Machinery’s cartoon talking bug commercials. Part of this post is simply an irrational response to an irrational statement. But - I just couldn’t stop myself. After this I’ll try to let it go - I promise.
